God gave us a vision back in 1996 to run a café which would also be a place in which God would meet people and minister to them. Boulders was the name we felt most appropriate - the locally mined opal being Boulder opal, but also because so many of us drag Boulders of hurt, resentment, regret - whatever - through life, and only God can break them down. So in May 2011 we at last opened the café - a building we have been renovating and preparing for the past 3 years. It has been a huge task, and much sweat and even blood has been shed! What was once a large shop in the centre of Cunnamulla is now a café, seating about 50 people, with facilities to cater for parties and functions (the large banqueting table we built ideal for this). Boulders is here to serve the whole community, and also the many visitors who pass through Cunnamulla in the cooler season. It has opened to good reviews in the local press and web blog sites. We face constant challenges of adequate staffing, coping with large numbers of customers - and of course giving our own 4 children the time and attention that they need.
With no comparable play area or cinema for hundreds of kilometres, when funds allow we want the room at the back of the building to be fitted with a children's indoor play area - ideal when the weather is too hot to be outside - the vision being to bring families together in the centre to feed and play! And at some point we want to use the main room to screen appropriate movies some nights - perhaps combine a meal out and a film. The plan too is that on Sunday evenings, Boulders will become a venue for Christian fellowship, worship and outreach.
We don't believe in mediocrity, especially being Christians in business and pray that all we do may be done to a high standard, and will witness to God's love for the whole of this mixed community.
